Hello Pat, I previously owned a 15" PowerBook 5,8. I don't recall whether I had any issues with Ekiga or not, but I can tell you that Totem was a royal pain. [WARNING: Opinionated sentence] Personally, I think Totem is the *worst* media software out there and it should die. I would recommend gMplayer, VLC, or Audacious as replacements for Totem.
As for sound in general on my PowerBook 5,8, it functioned perfectly. :-) -Hal Pat Wall wrote: > Hi All > > I am thinking of buying a Powerbook 5,8 G4 15" to run YDL on the move. > This is the last PB G4 made with hi-res display and I note in the > Supported Hardware section of Fixstars website that there is an audio > issue reported by an end user: > * > *Apple PowerBook 15" 1.67GHz G4, 2005-06 > > 1. /Notes:/ On the last shipping model of this product, an end user > has shared that audio fails under certain configurations of Totem; > Ekiga does not function. > > I was wondering if anyone has one of these powerbooks and have they been > able to get around the issue with audio or would is it best to look for > the Powerbook 5,6 instead? > > Thanks in advance! > > > Pat > > _______________________________________________ > yellowdog-general mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general > HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com' > > _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fixstars.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:us.fixstars.com'
